DRIVE: Best Data Scheduling Practices for Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward in Competitive Code Generation

ICML 2026poster

Recent success of large reasoning models (such as OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek R1) have spurred a resurgence of interest in reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (RLVR). However, progress is still largely driven by RL algorithm design, while data scheduling -- the data-side decisions that determi…

Debiased Model-based Representations for Sample-efficient Continuous Control

ICML 2026poster

Model-based representations recently stand out as a promising framework that embeds latent dynamics information into the representations for downstream off-policy actor-critic learning. It implicitly combines the advantages of both model-free and model-based approaches while avoiding the training co…

LaSeR: Reinforcement Learning with Last-Token Self-Rewarding

ICLR 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has recently emerged as a core paradigm for enhancing the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). To address the lack of verification signals at test time after RLVR, prior studies incorporate the training of model's self-verifica…

Small Generalizable Prompt Predictive Models Can Steer Efficient RL Post-Training of Large Reasoning Models

ICML 2026poster

Reinforcement learning enhances the reasoning capabilities of large language models but often involves high computational costs due to rollout-intensive optimization. Online prompt selection presents a plausible solution by prioritizing informative prompts to improve training efficiency. However, cu…

Thinking-Free Policy Initialization Makes Distilled Reasoning Models More Effective and Efficient Reasoners

ICLR 2026poster

Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Reward (RLVR) effectively solves complex tasks but demands extremely long context lengths during training, leading to substantial computational costs. While multi-stage training can partially mitigate this, starting with overly short contexts often causes irrev…
